As I suspected when I made my last post there is one last step for getting your screen-shot image updated.

I kind of suspected something like this might be the case. And since I don’t have a particularly spectacular Alexa score it appears it may take more than 48 hours. I started keeping track on the last post, but figured it would be better to put a tracking widget on my site. This way I can truly lock down a length of time before my update goes live.

45 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes, and 50 seconds have passed since initial submission to Alexa

Well it took over 45 days to update, but Alexa finally did. My image isn’t updated on BCA which is why I did this in the first place. Just an FYI folks.

Is there a way to update my bloggers choice award screen shot?

The answer is yes! It’s not spelled out on the website anywhere so I figured I’d share with everyone else my original post from Blog Catalog.

“I submitted my site quite some time ago when I was using a different template and was wondering if there’s a way to update my BCA screen shot? I don’t seem to see an option anywhere.”

FYI Everyone. Just got a response from Scott Mulrooney at Bloggers Choice Awards.

Thank you for contacting Blogger’s Choice Awards! In response to your query, all thumbnails are cached by Alexa and updated about once every two months. The thumbnail images of more popular sites are updated more frequently, and sites with higher Alexa scores (lower traffic ratings) are updated less frequently.

You may have some success asking Alexa to update the thumbnail for you, and if they do please let us know so that we can pull the new image. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Once at Alexa you can, “Edit site info”:

Once here Update Thumbnail Image:

Viola. According to Alexa your screen shot will be updated within 48 hours.

I just wanted to put this out there as I did a lot of searching, but didn’t find out myself until I contacted the source. With that said how about a vote?
